The theme for October is 'All Things Scary'.
Below are questions and ideas to help inspire you:
***
What do you find scary and why? Write and tell us.
***
What does the character in your story find frightening?
***
What scary event has happened to you? Write about your real life experience.
***
Where have you visited that has terrified you? Describe the place and why it was frightening.
***
What spooky books have you read or films have you watched? Have you been to the theatre or heard some music that was a little scary? Perhaps you could write us a review and tell us what you liked/disliked about them.
***
Try writing a factual report. For example: information on spiders/sharks/school bullies; or perhaps details of a visit to somewhere a bit spooky like Bodmin Jail.
***
In many stories characters have a phobia or fear that they must overcome in order to succeed in their quest. For instance Indiana Jones must overcome his fear of snakes because his adventures take him into old tombs & jungles that are naturally filled with creepy crawlies and snakes. Try writing a story where your character has to overcome their fear of something. Or tell us how you have faced one of your own fears.
***
Try creating/designing a scary monster or character, considering: What does your character look like? What makes your character frightening? Are they a mean and nasty character? What does your character do? What does your character eat? ...........
***
I am sure you can think of lots more ideas and things to write. Please share your ideas and writing by emailing them to bodminbookworm@aol.com .
